Westmeath Hurlers - Fair Play

[AZOffaly]

No. Shorter AZ "f**k off you miserable hoor"

Great gesture from Westmeath.  The spotlight now moves to the Dubs and their alleged breakfast allowances. 

No seriously though all counties should follow this lead.  Class act.

[Jinxy]

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if the Dubs give up a meal.
Although I wouldn't be that keen on a feed of broccoli and boiled chicken myself.

If the Westmeath hurlers don't need a post-match meal, they shouldn't be asking their county board and their own clubs to foot an unnecessary bill.  Charity donations are much more impressive when you spend your own money, not someone else's.

where does it say they don't need a post-match meal?  They are giving one up you clown.  They will still need to eat which they will fund themselves rather than take the free meal they would have got funded by the county board.

Well done Westmeath. Class act.

*faints

LOL - I knew you'd be astonished!

Still we can park the slagging, like Christmas 1914 (well that was more than slagging in fairness), once in a while for a noble cause!

Sure it'll be pre packed and all. The Dubs could physically hand it out themselves seen as they have no jobs!

Well done Westmeath btw

Just heard Mickey Burke has volunteered to give up half of one of his meals to feed a homeless family.

Much more impressive than spending any amount of money is giving your time.

That's true, particularly in this day and age where 'support' often consists of a re-tweet from the comfort of an armchair.

Can I just ask, are you from Cavan?

Even Cavan people aren't that miserable. I think it's a blobfish.

outside of the football there is a lot of creativity in the GAA

[Never beat the deeler]

Nice gesture from Westmeath hurlers. You will always get people that use it as a stick to beat them - why aren't they donating money, why aren't they donating their time.

They may well be doing that also, the two actions aren't mutually exclusive, but a meal is a very good symbol as a donation to homeless people.


What's more, this may make other people think about donating to a homeless charity or shelter. Any or all donations on the back of their example would be welcomed.
